—— Yang Xi was quite embarrassed, he just made unconscious movements, his eyes rolled casually, and fell on the more eye-catching place on Yang Yuhuan's body, but it didn't have any special meaning! This woman must have misunderstood and misunderstood what he meant, but thinking of the charm and ambiguity of last night, Yang Xi's heart couldn't help but swing, and she couldn't help but pull her mouth and wanted to laugh, but Yang Yuhuan saw it again, and this woman showed more and more hatred.

Yang Xi could only bow his head helplessly, waiting for Li Longji's question.

"Shiro, you led the army to attack Shaanxi County, it only took one night to rush back to Shaanxi County, I was very happy when I heard the good news, I really didn't expect you to use soldiers like a god," Li Longji motioned Yang Xi to step forward, and when Yang Xi agreed and walked to the front of the steps, he continued to praise: "Shiro, you only used a few thousand casualties of soldiers to capture Shaanxi County, and most of the 100,000 rebels were wiped out. I will reward you and hope that you will continue to lead the army, reclaim more cities, and finally put down the rebellion once and for all. ”

After Li Longji finished speaking, Yang Xi didn't have time to respond, and Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting next to Li Longji, immediately answered: "Your Majesty, fortunately, you didn't remove Shiro from his post and let him continue to lead the army, otherwise all this would not have happened, and Shaanxi County would not have been able to take it back so quickly." The concubine felt that if other generals were appointed to lead the army, it would definitely not be possible to achieve such results. Shiro proved with his own abilities how wise His Majesty's decision was. Your Majesty. You just said that you would reward Shiro heavily, but the concubine didn't hear how you wanted to reward Shiro? ”

"How can I break my word!" Listen to Yang Yuhuan say this. Li Longji also laughed and waved his hand. He immediately announced: "Of course, I will give Shiro a heavy general, pass on my will, and grant Yang Xi the title of General of Zuolong Wuwei, the Marquis of Yin County, Jinhua, plus 300 households, 20 catties of gold, and 2,000 horses of silk." Hehe! Shiro, are you satisfied with such a reward? ”

"Your Majesty. The minister has only made some contributions, how dare he be such a reward for His Majesty? Of course, Yang Xi could only refuse.

He wasn't satisfied with the reward, and he wasn't dissatisfied, because he didn't have much of an idea of it.

"Shiro, you have made such a meritorious achievement, it is natural to receive this reward, I believe that no one will object!" Li Longji stroked his beard and said happily: "I give you a heavy reward, I just hope that you will be more brave in the future to kill the enemy and make new contributions." Don't let me down, the concubine, and your father!"

"Thank you for your grace, the minister will definitely make new contributions, and will not let His Majesty and Niangniang. And my father was disappointed!"

At this time, Yang Guozhong also came up to thank him, and immediately said his request: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests taking advantage of the victory in Shaanxi County." When the rebels panicked, they raised a large army to attack Fan Yang. Smash the rebels' lair!"

I didn't expect this suggestion to be put forward by Yang Guozhong, Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Guozhong." Why do you think so? ”

"Your Majesty, most of the rebel army is gathered in Luoyang and Henan, Hebei, Fan Yang is empty, if Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi take advantage of the emptiness in the north to wave their troops to the north and attack Fan Yang, it will definitely make the thieves take care of one and lose the other, and finally the army will be defeated!" Yang Guozhong said, pointing at Yang Xi, "This is Shiro's suggestion, the minister thinks it makes sense, Guo Ziyi also sent his son to Beijing to ask, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it!"

"Oh? Guo Ziyi actually sent his son to Beijing to ask for this? Li Longji was very stunned, and after getting Yang Xi's confirmation, he immediately shouted: "Where is his person, announce his entry quickly." ”

Soon a little eunuch came over and went outside the Huaqing Palace, and Guo Xi, who was waiting outside the palace, was called in.

After Guo Xi was brought in, Li Longji directly asked him about the purpose of his visit to Beijing.

In the past few days, he has communicated a lot with Yang Xi, and yesterday before the separation was ordered by Yang Xi, of course Guo Xi will not ask him to go to Yang Xi for help first, and hopes that Yang Xi and his father Yang Guozhong will plead in front of the emperor to tell the matter, but directly explain Guo Ziyi's statement: "Your Majesty, my father and Li Jiedu both think that the current situation is very unfavorable to the rebels, and Fan Yang in the rear is empty, if the enemy is unprepared to wave the army to take Fan Yang directly, it will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort......"

"Fanyang is the starting place of the thief, the thief will not allow him to lose, if the official army in the north attacks Fanyang, the thief will do his best to rescue. If An Thief leads the army back to help Fanyang, then the pressure on the direction of the Beijing Division will be much smaller, not to mention that now Marshal Yang has inflicted heavy losses on the rebels in Shaanxi County, annihilating nearly 100,000 of them, the thief army will definitely avoid the edge of the official army, temporarily stop the war, and stick to Luoyang and other Henan lands. My father felt that now that the men and horses under the command of An Thief had not returned to Fanyang, they were also afraid that the official army would take advantage of the situation to capture Luoyang, and the men and horses in the north should take this opportunity to quickly capture Fanyang and cut off the back road of the rebels. If the attack is successful, without the rebels supporting in the rear, it will not be able to support for much time, and the rebellion will soon be quelled. ”

Guo Xi actually had another idea, that is, when his father Guo Ziyi and several other Jiedu envoys waved their troops to attack Fan Yang, Yang Xi also launched an attack in the direction of Luoyang, which would definitely make the rebels unstoppable.

But Yang Xi had clearly told him on the way to come that after capturing Shaanxi County, the Tongguan Town Army needed to rest and replenish its weapons, otherwise there would be no way to fight again. Guo Xi regarded Yang Xi's statement as to preserve his strength, but Yang Xi said this, and he was not good at suggesting it in front of the emperor.

After listening to what Guo Xi said, Li Longji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Well, Guo Duwei, just now Yang Aiqing made the same suggestion to me as your father, it seems that the hero sees the same thing!" Yang Aiqing said this, Marshal Yang, who led the army in Tongguan, also thought so, and many people thought so, so what reason did I have to disagree? ”

"Huh?!!Did Your Majesty really agree?" Guo Xi didn't expect that he didn't need to bother to say anything at all, and the emperor agreed to his father Guo Ziyi's previous request for several times but could not agree to the suggestion, very unbelievable, look at Yang Guozhong, who looked a little cold on the side, and then look at Yang Xi, who was standing beside him with a very rich expression, and finally believed it. Hurry up and thank you: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

What was expected to be very difficult was solved without much effort. Could it be that this is all because of Yang Xi? Guo Xi couldn't figure it out.

Li Longji from the palace here spoke again, "I will give an order immediately." Ordered Guo Jiedu to envoy and Li Jiedu to lead the men and horses to attack Fan Yang. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Xi immediately thanked him again.

In fact, this does not need to be thanked, the emperor made a decision, how can there be a subordinate to thank? It's just because Guo Xi knew that the emperor's order was too difficult, and his father waited for a long time, so he sincerely thanked him, and he didn't feel inappropriate.

Li Longji didn't take Guo Xi seriously, and didn't even ask about the battle situation in front of this Guoyi Lieutenant, who had rushed back from thousands of miles, so he threw him aside and ignored him. turned his head and asked Yang Guozhong: "Guozhong, immediately issue an edict on behalf of me, ordering Guo Ziyi, Li Zibi, Cheng Qianli, and Yan Zhenqing to lead their troops to attack Fan Yang!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Guozhong agreed, and immediately trotted out of the palace to draft an edict on behalf of the emperor.

Yang Xi and Guo Xi were left in the palace, but Li Longji still didn't pay attention to Guo Xi anymore, but instructed Yang Xi: "Shilang, it's rare for you to go back to Chang'an once." Let's rest for a few days and then go back to Shaanxi County. Whatever you need in the army, you can ask your father or ask me directly, and I will meet your requirements. I want you to rest and recuperate. It can annihilate a few more rebels and recapture Tokyo Luoyang as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Xi immediately agreed, "The minister does have some needed things that need to be replenished. After a while, I will tell my father that this attack on Shaanxi County is coming. Gunpowder exerted the greatest power, but now the storage of gunpowder in Tongguan City is not much, and the raw materials for production are also lacking. It is also hoped that the imperial court will recruit another batch of new soldiers to supplement the military strength of Tongguan. Other than that, there's nothing else to ask for!"

Yang Xi's words aroused Guo Xi's curiosity, and he heard that Yang Xi's army was equipped with a very powerful weapon, and it was the great lethality of this weapon that caused the defenders of Shaanxi County to lose their fighting spirit and abandon the city and flee.

Now my father's weapons and equipment such as arrows in the army are not enough, and this time he entered Beijing, he also had the task of requesting weapons support from the imperial court, and after hearing Li Longji and Yang Xi say this, he immediately asked again, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a request." ”

"Speak!"

"In the command of my father, there is a lack of armaments, and I ask the court to add some, this is my father's request for help."

Guo Xi said, took out the watch in his arms, and held it high above his head. Originally, he had no chance to hand over this script to the emperor in person, and even if he entered Beijing, he could only submit it through the military department of Shangshu Province, because his official position was too low, but in the end, it would definitely not go to the emperor, but would be disposed of by the prime minister of the political hall. Today, he was hesitating whether to submit it to the palace, but when he heard Yang Xi talk about weapons, he also had the courage to mention it.

Li Longji glanced at Guo Xi slightly, and asked him to take the watch, but he didn't open it to look at it, but instructed Yang Xi: "Shilang, the weapons that Guo Jiedu needs will be solved by you and your father." ”

Yang Xi heard the meaning of Li Longji's words, and immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The matter was almost over, and after Yang Xi glanced at Guo Xi, he immediately bowed and retreated: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister retires!" Guo Xi also bowed and retreated.

Just as Yang Xi was about to leave, Yang Yuhuan, who did not avoid them when they were doing something, opened his mouth and called Yang Xi: "Shiro, wait a minute!"

Looking at Yang Yuhuan, who was walking towards him from his seat, Yang Xi, who was a little big, had to stop and salute respectfully: "I don't know what else Niangniang commanded?" ”

"Shiro, you have to go back to Chang'an today, go and meet your mother, rest for two days, and then go back to Shaanxi County, and then you will come to your aunt's residence, and your aunt has something to reward you," Yang Yuhuan said, giving Yang Xi a look, and then said: "You go to Shaanxi County again, I don't know when you will come back, I hope you can be safe, don't let your parents and aunt worry." ”

"Thank you for your grace, I am grateful!" Yang Xi didn't understand what Yang Yuhuan meant by such an order, and he didn't pay attention to what her eyes meant just now, but thinking of Yang Yuhuan's strange eyes when he entered the hall, Yang Xi's heart beat a little faster.

No, this concubine can't help the ** of her body, do you want him to help solve something?
